Why Possum Infestations Matter

Property damage & safety risks

Possums can damage roofing materials, chew wiring, degrade insulation, and tear ceilings or vents when nesting.

Noise, odours, hygiene

Scratching, droppings, urination in roof spaces undermine hygiene and can cause smells or noise that disrupt sleeping or living.

Legal protection & compliance

Under Victorian law (Wildlife Act), possums are protected. Only licensed wildlife handlers can do removal or relocation; misuse can incur penalties.

Recurring cost & insulation loss

Once possums have established access routes and nests, the damage and energy cost (from insulation damage) can escalate if not addressed early.

What We Do — Possum Control Services

Inspection & Entry Assessment

Identify audibility/signs: scratching, noises from roof, droppings, damaged entry points.


Inspect roofs, eaves, vents, under decks, ceiling voids to locate entry holes and nesting sites.

Safe & Humane Removal / Eviction

Use of one-way exits or humane traps by licensed handlers to allow possums to exit shelter without harm.


Relocation handled per law: must comply with distance and other regulatory limits.

Proofing & Sealing Entry Points

Repairing / sealing roof vents, damaged eaves, broken tiles, gaps under roofing, soffits.

 

Trimming tree branches that provide roof access.

What our customers say

FAQs

Are possums protected by law in Victoria?

Yes. Possums are protected under the Wildlife Act; removal or relocation must be done legally by licensed wildlife controllers. Relocation beyond certain distances can be unlawful.

How can I tell if I have possums in my roof or attic?

Noises at night (scratching, thumping), droppings, damaged insulation, smells or strong odours, damaged roof materials or vents are common signs.

Is possum removal safe for my family & pets?

Yes when done by professionals. Licensed handlers take safety, both for the animal and your household, seriously.

Will proofing and sealing entry work permanently?

If done properly and maintained, proofing can last many years. However, environmental changes (tree growth, new adjacent vegetation) or weather events may require re-inspection.

What does possum removal cost in Melbourne?

Depends on severity: location of nest (roof vs under deck), proofing/sealing required, whether cleanup is needed. We provide inspection & clear quote ahead of work.
